If your surgery is scheduled in Surgical Services, you can park outside of the Surgical Services entrance. You may also drive up to the main entrance where our valets will be happy to park your car for your convenience. From there, you’ll proceed to Surgical Services and check in at the registration area.

If arriving through the Sentara Heart & Vascular Center, use the hospital entrance at River Rock Way and follow signs to the appropriate parking lot. You'll need to check in at the registration desk.
